	Bantu Ethnic Identity in Somalia 1 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Until 1990, Somalia was routinely portrayed as one of the few countries in Africa where nation and state were synonymous, an island of ethnic homogeneity in a sea of multi-ethic states.

		Though demographics have obviously changed since the colonial era, a colonial census of Italian Somalia (which would obviously not have included the population of British Somaliland) in 1935 concluded that 6.2% of the population was “Negroid groups” a figure which is not far off the estimate given above.
